Introducing the Retailgentic Podcast...

A new podcast focused on GenAI Shopping Agents hosted by Scot Wingo.

May 29, 2025

I was fortunate to be in there at the early days of paid-search (goto.com!), marketplaces, mobile and social commerce. Having been through all those disruptive waves of innovation, I believe we’re going to look back and they will look like small bumps in the road compared to the tsunami of change that AI Shopping agents are going to bring.

Based on the very warm response we’ve had to this substack and looking at the ever expanding pod-verse, I noticed a clear whitespace. Nobody is focusing in on the intersection of e-commerce, retail, payments on one side and GenAI/LLMs, consumers using the engines for shopping and the inevitable move to agentic shopping and decided we should fill that whitespace and…

The Retailgentic podcast is born!

The goal of the podcast, similar to the sister publication you are reading here is to provide a mixture of content all focused shining a bright spotlight on this trend. We’ll look at the opportunities and the risks all through the eyes of how it will impact Retailers, brands/manufacturers and even the vendors that play such a crucial supporting role in the industry.

Topics we’ll be covering

Some of the topics we’ll be digging into:

Any breaking news related to new agentic shopping offerings from the big and small players.
Strategic frameworks for how retailers and brands are thinking about, measure, optimize and navigate our agentic shopping future.
Interviews with retail thought leaders - by getting a diversity of opinions, it will help us triangulate on what the future will look like.
Case studies - as we see retailers and brands building best practices around agentic shopping, we’ll be having them on the pod to
Community request - ultimately we’re working to build a community of people interested in this topic. We want to hear from you what YOU want to hear, so let us know through comments, messages, etc.

Foundational episode topics and graphics

In this foundational episode, we walked through a summary of much of the content we’ve provided on the substack, but wanted to collect it all in one place. Over time, we’ll be coming back to these concepts and some of them are designed to be ‘trackers’ that we’ll be updating as new innovations and updates come out.

We’re providing those here for those of you that listen to the pod to have as reference as there’s no way to put images in the podcast player shownotes.
